The present invention relates to a time switch that supplies and cuts power to electrical and electronic products at a set time while operating in real time, such as a clock, and more particularly, after the user connects a power inlet to the time switch. When the time zone is set to the current time or when the time is set again, a day and night time display is formed on the 24-hour actuator to identify whether the current time is the day time zone or the night time zone. In order to check the day and night time zone formed in the day and night timetable in real time to provide a time switch that allows the user to operate exactly at the desired time zone without confusing the day and night time zone when setting the time switch .

In general, when the power inlet is connected, the time switch operates in real time while operating on a power source, for example, for various lighting machinery such as street lamps, security lamps, outdoor signs, or all other electrical and electronic products. It is a device that controls the power to be supplied only at a set time. It is mainly used to automatically supply power only at a set time in electric and electronic products that are not equipped with a timer.

The time switch according to the related art shown in FIG. 7 has been released by the applicant of the present invention from a long time to the present, and is operated in real time in a perspective view through a transparent front case formed on the front of the switch body 100. The sieve 200 is mounted, and the inner side of the current time display unit 110 displayed on the upper left side of the switch body 100 has a movable operation protrusion 120 around the 24 hour actuator 200. Protruding to be resilient toward the space portion 130 formed therebetween, the movable operation projection 120 is a plurality of adjustment pins 210 formed in units of 10 minutes around the 24 hour actuator 200 ) When the protrusion is adjusted to the space 130, the 24 hour actuator 200 operates in real time, and when the protruding adjustment pin 210 reaches the current time display unit 110, the movable operation protrusion 120 is moved. Drive into the switch body 100 Accordingly, the movable terminal inside the switch body 100 is connected to the fixed terminal so that the time switch supplies power to the product to be controlled by the power supply. When moving out of the time display unit 110, the movable operation protrusion 120 protrudes into the space unit 130 by its elastic restoring force. In this case, the movable terminal inside the switch body 100 is short-circuited at the fixed terminal to be controlled. It is composed of the structure that cuts off the power supply to the product.

In addition, the front of the 24-hour actuator 200 of the time switch has a time display number of 1 to 24 for dividing the 24 hours a day by 1 hour unit and a 10 minute interval for displaying each time at 10 minute intervals. The 24-hour time display unit 220 is formed, and the 12-hour dial 300 is marked with a time display number and a scale for identifying 12 hours by time at the center of the 24-hour time display unit. Is equipped.

In addition, the hour hand 400, the minute hand 500, and the second hand operating plate 600 are sequentially installed at the center of the 12 o'clock dial 300 and configured to operate in real time.

Wherein the 24-hour actuator 200 is formed in the 24-hour time display unit 220 is configured to rotate once a day, while the 12 o'clock dial 300 is installed in a fixed state, the 12 o'clock When the hour hand 400 mounted on the front of the dial 300 rotates the dial at 12 o'clock (two revolutions), the 24-hour actuator 200 is configured to rotate one revolution (one revolution). .

In order to set the time zone for supplying and cutting off power to the product to be controlled by the time switch of the prior art configured as described above, the user first connects the power inlet to the time switch and then supplies the power according to the current time. The time zone to be supplied is set, wherein the user sees the time display number indicated on the 24-hour time display unit 220 of the 24-hour actuator 200 and the time zone to supply power to the product to be controlled. Time control is set in a way to manipulate the adjustment pins 210 to protrude into the space 130. However, users familiar with the 12 o'clock dial 300 look at the 24-hour timetable displayed on the 24-hour actuator 200, so that the case can be set without clearly distinguishing the time zone between day and night. The switch does not work in the desired time zone, and malfunctions are occurring with the wrong time zone, i.e. the day and night time zones reversed.

For example, when the power inlet wire is connected and the time switch operating in real time is set so that the power can be supplied from 8 pm to midnight (12 pm), the user may use the 24 hour actuator 200 24. Time switch 220 must be set so that the adjustment pins 210 between the number "20" and "24" representing 8 o'clock and midnight must protrude from the time switch to supply power to the product from 8 pm to midnight. In contrast, the user incorrectly sees the 24-hour timetable displayed on the 24-hour time display part 220, as shown in FIG. 7, between the "8" and "12" numbers of the 24-hour time display part 220 as shown in FIG. 7. If you make the mistake of setting the protruding control pins 210, the time switch does not operate between 8 pm and midnight, but a closed loop occurs between 8 am and noon, which is an unusual time zone. All.

In addition, the above closing may occur not only in the process of incorrectly setting the time switch, but also in adjusting the setting time.

As described above, the phenomenon of incorrectly setting the time switch is a situation in which a lot of protest calls have been made from the users who use the time switch produced by the applicant of the present invention that the power supply time period is not properly performed.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned general matters, and when a user sets a working time zone of a power supply or adjusts a setting time zone after connecting a wire lead wire to a time switch, the user desires a time zone. In order to ensure the correct operation of the adjustment pins, the center of the 24-hour actuator of the time switch is divided into 24 hours of daytime and 12 hours of night time based on 6 am and 6 pm Day and night time display section for easy identification of each time in the day and night time zone, and the 12 o'clock dial to show the time display of each day and night time zone indicated by the hour and night time display unit in hour As a means for forming a, each day and night time display portion viewed through the viewing window This makes it easy to identify whether the time is daytime or nighttime, so that anyone can easily recognize the 24-hour time display number when operating the time switch, and make sure that the user does not have to make a mistake.
